Proverbs 16:26


Proverbs 16:25 Proverbs 16:26 (KJV) Proverbs 16:27
There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof [are] the ways of death.
He that laboureth laboureth for himself; for his mouth craveth it of him.
An ungodly man diggeth up evil: and in his lips [there is] as a burning fire.
